She Lifts | Day 9.

This group is not messing about.

Yesterday Mared dropped 7 personal bests in a single session. Seven. Gwen matched her with 7 of her own. Leah hit 4. Becs kept stacking them. Dee reached her 5th workout milestone.

Some of them were in the gym before half the country had opened their eyes. Others got it done between 6 and 8pm. Home version, gym version - doesn't matter. The work is getting done.

But the moment of Day 9?

Dee sharing this in the group:

"I put 2lbs on this week. But I don't care. I've lost 2 inches from my waist. My lean body mass has gone up. I'll take that as a win."

That's it. That's the whole programme right there. Not chasing a number - understanding what's actually happening inside your body and trusting the process.

Today Lara joined us with a brand new set of dumbbells and that first-session energy. Becs, Sam, Gwen, Erika and Vikki all got sessions in before the day was done.

Nine days in. This is only the beginning.

👊

She Lifts | Day 8

One of the things that makes She Lifts what it is? These weekly group calls.

We catch up, we check in on how the week went, we set targets for the week ahead - and yeah, we have a laugh. Usually at me.

But this is it. This is the She Lifts process. It's not just about what happens in the workouts I've set for them. It's about showing up to these calls, staying connected to the group, having people around you who are going through the exact same thing at the exact same time.

That shared experience is what makes the difference between white-knuckling it alone and actually enjoying the journey.

Week one is done. The foundation is set. Seven weeks to go. 💪

"You're like a 💩 boss"

184.5kg. All-time PB on the heavy duty leg press.

Me and Wicky fight like cat and dog when I push her weight up - she'll tell you that herself. Every session there's a bit of back and forth, a bit of "are you serious, Gary?" But it's never really about the argument. It's about the fact that I see a strength in her that she doesn't always see in herself yet.

Today she saw it too.

That's what I bring to our training session when we hit the steel together. Lugging plates and counting reps, but pushing someone past the point where they'd normally stop themselves - and watching them realise what they were capable of the whole time. It IS beautiful.

7 years of training. Over 1,300 workouts logged. And she's still setting all-time PBs.

That's not luck. That's consistency. That's showing up, week after week, even on the days it doesn't feel like it.

Proud of you, Wicky.

She Lifts | Day 5

Week 1 almost done. Here's what happened.

🏋️ 23 workouts logged
🏆 12 personal bests set
📊 10 habit streaks started
👟 7 members hitting sessions

And we're only just getting started.

Our team leaders set the tone from day one - Becs trained every single day this week without missing a beat, and Sam walked in on Monday and dropped 3 personal bests. That's the standard being set. That's what the rest of the group is looking at. 👀

Erika, Dee and Vikki all completed their first She Lifts sessions this week and immediately got their habits locked in - bodyweight tracked, measurements done, progress photos in. The work is being done quietly.

Mared and Leah both picking up PBs. Dee trained through the DOMS like an absolute warrior 💪

Shoutout to Gwen and Lara who have been on holiday and will join the squad next week. Rest up, enjoy it, because we want to see you hit the ground running when you join us🏃‍♀️(Metaphorically of course. F**k running)

The group chat is already buzzing. The sessions are getting done. She Lifts is underway.

Last chance to join the ladies before we close shop and knuckle down.

Comment or DM "She Lifts" to be the last to join. Sign up closes Sunday

She Lifts | Day 3

Day three of She Lifts and the group's already hard at work. 💪

Two programs running side by side, gym and home, but everyone's on the same first week. Easing in, building the foundations, laying the groundwork before things ramp up.

The gym crew are working an all-rounder approach before we move into proper split training from week three. The home crew are keeping it bodyweight-focused for now, with dumbbells coming in soon.

First PBs are already starting to roll in and the group chat's buzzing. That's the energy this programme is built on.

Sign up is still open, but only until the end of this week. After that the doors close and you'll be waiting for the next round. (Dates of which I'll be announcing soon)

Want to join the group? DM or comment "SHE LIFTS" and I'll get you sorted. 👊🏼

She Lifts | Day 2

Within hours of the programme going live, the group chat was already popping off:

🏋️ Erika completing Key Movements, Advanced Core and Plank Test, and Track Bodyweight, all by day 2, and it was her first ever workouts with us

🔴 Mared setting 2 new PBs on Gym Allrounder

🔑 Dee putting in the work on Key Movements for an hour long workout at home... Her words: "I think I may be dead." That's She Lifts energy right there.

🔴 Leah bagging a PB on Gym Allrounder too

Not a single rest day in sight. Monday morning selfies mid-session, and already swapping recipe ideas

That's the thing about this group. Nobody's waiting to be told twice.

8 weeks of this. Strength, no cardio, no nonsense, and a group of women who show up and push each other from minute one.

She Lifts has officially begun. 👊🏼

It's not too late to join the group. If you want to be told exactly how you should train and eat - at home and in the gym for 8 weeks comment or DM "She Lifts" to get rolling

Meet Leah. 👋🏼

Some of you already know her, she's no stranger to training with me and no stranger to She Lifts either. She's back, and she's not messing about.

Over the last few months Leah's turned a new job and a busier schedule into structure rather than an excuse. That structure's helped her dial in her meals and start chipping away at a weight that's bounced around for the last three years. The trend is finally heading the right way, and she wants to use that momentum, not lose it.

Now she's joining She Lifts for her second go round.

Leah is finding the balance to show up even when life's chaotic, find the thirty minutes somewhere in the week, and still turn up smiling. Dog walks, new job, whatever's thrown at her, she adapts and keeps going.

8 weeks. Strength training. No cardio nonsense, just proper progressive training with a group of women who've got your back. At home or in the gym.

Want to join myself, Leah and the rest of the She Lifts ladies? DM or comment "SHE LIFTS" to grab your spot. 👊🏼

Welcome back Leah - looking forward to getting you going again.

Meet Mared. 👊🏼

Mared and I go back over fifteen years. In that time she's tried pretty much everything I've thrown at her, outdoor training in the snow, 28 day intensive boot camps, PT in the gym and on Zoom.

Now she's joining She Lifts.

When she called me, she said "I need to start getting strong." Simple as that. No fluff, no faffing about, just straight to the point, which is exactly the kind of energy she's brought for fifteen years.

Getting strong is what She Lifts is all about.

She Lifts is 8 weeks, strength based, no cardio, no nonsense, and a group of women who've got your back the whole way.

Want to join myself, Mared and the rest of the She Lifts ladies? It's not too late. DM or comment "SHE LIFTS" to grab your spot. 👊🏼

Welcome Mared a Looking forward to getting you (and Archie) going again.

She Lifts | Day 1

This is the starting line.

Day one isn't just about getting the first workout in. It's about getting an honest look at where you're actually at, weight, measurements, photos, before eight weeks of work changes all of it.

Some of the ladies were straight on it this morning, weigh-in and measurements done before breakfast. Others are still away on holiday and won't check in till next week. Doesn't matter. Everyone knows exactly what's expected of them over the next eight weeks, and that's what counts.

If you're watching this thinking you've missed the boat, you haven't. Latecomers can still join and I've got a special offer on the table for anyone jumping in now while the rest of the group is already moving.

Fancy playing catch up? Comment or DM "SHE LIFTS" and let's see where you're at. 👊🏼
